ABOUT
THE AUTHORI am a long time Information Technology Major, and a former Navy Protected Veteran but I have a strong love and passion for writing, also an avid reader with a very large collection of books. I have many influences through the years (Pro Authors) and those influences have kept me writing and strong in literature for over 20 years. I have completed over fifty short stories, three novellas, two serials to my credit and dozens of articles. Most of my writing began for the High School and College Newspapers. It was a hobby at first but the fun and passion started in college where I found a small following of fans who believed in me...[September 2017]

The Hunting Of The SnarkNathaniel A Miller

The Hunting of the Snark
‘Come, listen, my men, while I tell you again
The five unmistakable marks
By which you may know, whosesoever you go,
The warranted genuine Snarks.

‘Let us take them in order. The first is the taste,
Which is meagre and hollow, but crisp:
Like a coat that is rather too tight in the waist,
With flavour of Will-o’-the-Wisp.

‘Its habit of getting up late you’ll agree
That it carries too far, when I say
That is frequently breakfasts at five-o’clock tea,
And dines on the following day.

‘The third is its slowness in taking a jest.
Should you happen to venture on one,
It will sigh like a thing that is deeply distressed:
And it always looks grave at a pun.

‘The fourth is its fondness for bathing-machines,
Which is constantly carries about,
And believes that they add to the beauty of scenes –
A sentiment open to doubt.

‘The fifth is ambition. It next will be right
To describe each particular batch:
Distinguishing those that have feathers, and bite,
From those that have whiskers, and scratch.

‘For, although common Snarks do no manner of harm,
Yet I feel it my duty to say
Some are Boojums ---- `
